The fashion for manicure does not change as rapidly as in clothing, but stylists every year always invite us to try new shades, designs and shapes of nails.
A rich blue manicure (photo) today, just like nail art in airy blue shades, is one of the favorites of the season.
New shades and color combinations
Riverside color(river bank) today has, perhaps, taken the leading place in the color palette of 2017. This restrained and noble rich blue is less bright than in previous seasons and has a touch of the slightest haze. This color combines favorably on nails with silver, classic black, scarlet or even a transparent nail plate, as well as blue, turquoise, emerald green, gray, yellow, mustard and other trendy shades of the season.
Another popular shade of blue Airy Blue– delicate and refined, the color of the sky on a frosty day. It can be combined with blue, white, light pearl, cool gray, metallic, dusty pink or rose quartz, lilac or any pastel and nude (natural) shades.
The trendy blue in nail art this year can be glossy, velvety matte, mirror or metallic. It all depends only on the chosen style and your imagination.
Advice! Before manicure, nails should be degreased. Otherwise the varnish will not last long.
Shape and length of marigolds
Nail art this season becomes functional and practical. Although the fashion of the 90s has not yet left the catwalks, so long nails can be used as evening looks, neat and not too long nail plates are in fashion.
Their shape gradually becomes less rough and closer to natural. After all, naturalness has firmly become fashionable in 2017. So say a firm no to corners and rough square nails today.
Nails middle length(they should only protrude slightly by 3-5 mm) this season have an almond shape with a slightly tapering tip or a neat oval shape. The “pointe shoe” shape, a symbiosis of a square and an almond shape, in which a straight line is cut only at the very tip of the nail, is very relevant and has gained popularity back in 2016. On short nails, the square is softened with small oval corners at the corners.
Advice! When applying several layers of varnish, the thickness of each of them should be minimal. Excessively thick layers will lie unevenly and take a very long time to dry.
Fashionable nail design
A big mistake this season will be the presence of unnecessary decorations. Even in evening nail art, the number of rhinestones, liquid stones, feathers or broths should be minimal. Today's decor should be as restrained and moderate as possible.
But this does not mean at all that a trendy manicure with blue nails (photo) should be boring. Today's fashion offers a huge number of different design options. Nail design today is a real art. Moreover, thanks to the abundance of modern compositions for decoration and special devices for nail art, you can make even complex compositions and bring to life the most creative ideas You can even do it at home:

- transfer stickers;
- designs on nails: from the simplest colors and patterns to the most complex compositions of extraordinary beauty;

- use a combination of techniques: for example, lunar French + ombre, lace + rhinestones, French + artistic painting, etc.
Advice! Remember the main rule of nail art: the shorter the length of the nail plate, the less decoration there should be.
Matte blue manicure
Initially, the varnish was intended as a glossy coating. However, it turned out that the rough velvet coating looks simply amazing on the nails, especially in evening looks. Matte can be combined with gloss of the same color or other shades. For example, current methods of decoration are highlighting a pattern with a shiny gloss or a blue manicure with a design. For “velvet” art, you can purchase either special compounds or experiment and create a matte varnish using a simple technique.
Let's describe this method step by step:

- to better fix the coating, apply a base varnish and dry it well;
- We take water into a small saucepan and put it on the stove, wait until the water boils;
- cover the nails with blue varnish of the desired shade;
- quickly, while the varnish has not yet hardened, we bring our hands to the hot steam and wait a few minutes until it completely dries;
- since some compositions dry quite quickly, you will have to keep your hands under steam several times;
- after the varnish has completely dried, we apply patterns on the nails with a shiny gloss;
- the original manicure is ready.
Advice! Do not leave too much distance between the nail and the cuticle. It doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing. If the varnish gets on the skin, you can easily remove it using a toothpick with a cotton swab moistened with a liquid to remove it.

Cosmic depth and the shine of stars: photo of manicure ideas with blue polish
The noble color suits refined and sublime natures. The proposed photos of nail art are guaranteed to add aristocracy to your image.
In the depth of color
The easiest way to quickly be on trend is to cover all your fingers in blue, completely abandoning the decor. This is a winning solution, since in some cases, excessive shine on the nails may be out of place. And deep blue highlights the skin favorably and will become a pleasant highlight of the image.
This manicure cannot be called boring; on short nails, glossy blue shimmers like sapphires. There are no restrictions on textures; you can also use a glitter or matte finish. By the way, the blue matte polish looks amazing on pointe nails.
Rich indigo will look intriguing if you use magnetic varnish.
If you want to leave an unusual impression from your manicure, then try the “velvet” design. The method is simple: sprinkle the top layer with a velvet coating and compact it with a brush. When everything dries, your fingertips will be “plush”!
Background for the moon
Usually blue serves as a background for moon art. The hole itself is painted in a different color or highlighted with rhinestones. The option with white and blue varnish is perfect, and the hole is often highlighted with manicure foil, and then it becomes mirror-like.
The trend is for holes made of shiny pebbles, reverse or “naked”, that is, free from colored pigment. You can even depict the hole in three different colors, for example, in the form of triangles - yellow, blue and pink.
Mysterious flicker
You can unleash your imagination widely if you pick up glitters and shimmers. Nail art becomes the most original when you invent the design yourself. Using silver and golden sparkles, you can create a beautiful ombre, moon manicure or French manicure with blue polish. Even one finger highlighted with large glitters will give you a festive mood.
But you can also implement original blue manicure ideas with glitter polish. Cut out the stencil and paste it onto the plate. Paint the free space with shimmer varnish and – voila! – admire the interesting pattern.
Sapphire island
If a woman claims that she does not like jewelry, then she is deceiving. Inside every strong-willed and strong lady lives a magpie whose eyes sparkle at the sight of sparkling stones. Of course, not everyone owns sapphire mines, but everyone can afford a blue manicure with rhinestones! And the stones shine no worse than precious ones.
It is better to use not colored rhinestones, but mostly transparent ones; they cover the path in the center of the plate, make the holes you already know, glue them to the side, and outwardly it looks like a beautiful highlight.
"Sapphires" will be in place on the yellow base. You need to do a manicure with blue and yellow polish, and attach several blue rhinestones to a bright field. The contrast is fascinating.
Precious caviar
The caviar design that has recently appeared in nail art on blue looks amazing! Only one finger should be decorated with bouillon - going overboard is not acceptable here.
Caviar fits most successfully on almond-shaped plates, but on very short and square ones it looks a little rough.
It is not necessary to limit yourself to decor with broths alone. Rhinestones harmonize well with them, and nail art becomes multifaceted.
An excellent solution is transparent beads on a blue and white ombre.
frosty gradient
Sophisticated and fresh - that's what you can say about the gradient with blue shellac. Nail artists draw inspiration from the blue sky and the mysterious depths of the water column. This sophisticated ombre is created by mixing white and blue colors, and it is a very painstaking job.
Blue also goes well with emerald green, and a gradient transition is also made by mixing varnish and glitter.
Be sure to try a geometric gradient; it’s not difficult to do, but it looks like the pinnacle of manicure technique.
Cosmic blue
A true master of his craft and an artist by nature will be able to create a mysterious cosmic manicure. Of course, it is easier to paste entire galaxies and planets in the form of sliders. But, having drawn and come up with a design yourself, you will be sure that you will not see anyone else like it.
Incredibly complex in appearance, it is easy to do:
- Cover your nails with blue and dry.
- Take a small piece of sponge and drip just a little bit of silver varnish onto it.
- You grab the sponge with tweezers and imprint the silvery “Milky Way”.
- Next, repeat the technology, but with different colors.
- For greater realism, attach a couple of star sparkles to the plate.
- Cover with topcoat and you're done!
Droplets
Where, if not on blue, should raindrops sparkle? Take note that droplets on magnetic varnishes coated with a matte top are especially impressive.
Broken glass
Nail art with this name has captivated all the women on the planet. What’s interesting is that the very first works were in dark blue and green colors.
Broken art can be on all fingers or just a couple; any embodiment that comes to your mind is trendy! Well, if you find it difficult to come up with a nail design Broken glass with blue polish on your own, choose a ready-made one from these examples.
Warm sweater
Knitted manicure is often knitted with dark blue and white polish. These two colors harmonize perfectly with each other, and the “sweater” turns out fashionable and stylish. Be prepared for the fact that this is a very labor-intensive job and is best embodied in gel polishes and velvet sand.
Bottomless edge...
The nautical manicure that graces women’s hands every summer is impossible to imagine without the color blue. Traditionally, the vest is decorated with blue and red varnish; they are also used to paint anchors, waves and other marine paraphernalia. The design is very fun and really vacation-y!
With an image
The blue palette is a fertile base for painting. Abstract patterns, flowers, butterflies are made in blue and pink, black, white and other colors. If you want a convex design, then sprinkle it with velvet powder and enjoy the 3D effect!
Gzhel
A combination of white and blue polish + fine brush work = Gzhel nail design. Beautiful flowers will bloom at your fingertips if you work hard enough.

Such palettes are available in every self-respecting store. Apply the color you like to your hand - it is possible that the skin will acquire a grayish tint, which means you need a varnish of a different tone. Most often, problems arise in girls with a warm skin tone, for example, with an olive or peach tint. Cold, rich blue color is contraindicated for you; choose muted tones, as if diluted with gray or white. 
Please note that manicure in blue tones is not recommended for older women, as well as for those whose skin is prone to irritation and redness. If you often have veins appearing on your hands, you should avoid blue polish. Short nails in combination with a short nail bed may look unfavorable under a bright coating, but still, a blue manicure on short nails is quite acceptable - you need to use special nail art techniques that can visually lengthen your fingers and make your hand more graceful and proportional.

Famous brands always strive to satisfy the most sophisticated tastes of consumers, so lovers of bright and unusual colors have plenty to choose from.

But the brand did not stop there; among the most popular Chanel products are the shades Blue Satin (metallic), Bel-Argus (blue-blue), Magic (a truly magical varnish that plays with all the undertones from blue to sea green). Let's not forget about the unique series of blue polishes dedicated to the capital of Russia - three shades of Moscow Chanel. Varnishes from other most famous brands are not inferior in variety of shades. 
Fans of Dior polishes can choose the luxurious metallic shade Tuxedo, the amazing Blue Denim, reminiscent of denim, light cream Lagoon or dark Black Ink with shimmer. The incredibly popular nail brand Essie could not help but please the food lovers with shades of indigo - the rich but unobtrusive Aruba Blue is suitable even for a business woman, the neon Bouncer, It's Me will be an excellent choice for young girls, the creamy Essie-Butler Please from the autumn-winter collection will lift mood in cloudy weather, and Afterschool Boy Blazer will remind you of school years and is suitable for creating a preppy look.

What goes with a blue manicure - thinking through the look
Even the most beautiful, neat and effective manicure will look inappropriate and tasteless if it does not match your clothes. If you did a blue manicure, the photo shows that the easiest way is to combine it with blue things. However, there is a strict rule - the varnish should be darker than the clothes. If your nails are lighter than the clothes you are wearing, the manicure will seem too simple and ordinary, and if you choose a polish that exactly matches your clothes, the whole look will merge into a single spot. If you use several colors in your nail design, for example, you have a blue and white manicure, make sure that the look includes white details or accessories.
In the summer, you can safely play with contrast, choosing a varnish in the color of the sky or sea under clothes in yellow and orange shades. A bright cream polish will go well with a red outfit; this look can be recommended not only to young girls, but also to older fashionistas who love bright combinations. Undoubtedly, such a polish would be appropriate when paired with white clothes, but it is advisable that the look include a third color, for example, gold or red, otherwise the overall outfit will seem rustic. Don't worry about a blue manicure if you're going to wear a green dress or a pink sweater - such a tandem is quite harmonious. It is not recommended to paint your nails in indigo shades if you are wearing a gray, black or brown suit. 
Blue manicure ideas - moonlit, French, French on short nails
The ideas for blue manicure are varied and amaze with the splendor of their combinations. We have already talked about the blue French manicure above; its opposite also looks great - a blue moon manicure, which will be appropriate both in a formal setting and in everyday life. Cover your nails with a clear polish, or preferably an opaque beige polish, and then highlight the hole of each nail with blue. You can do the opposite, apply a blue polish, for example, matte, to your nails, and then highlight the hole with white, gold, silver, red or black. The hole can be “drawn” both along its natural contour and reverse side to create an arc along the cuticle.
The next option is a manicure using the ombre technique, when the dark blue shade at the edge of the nail smoothly turns into a soft blue at the base or vice versa. This option is performed using a sponge. Apply two or three shades of varnish close to each other on a piece of foil, then carefully dip a sponge into the varnish and make an imprint on nail plate. To make this nail design look brighter and richer, use white varnish as a base. 
White color goes best with blue and is great for creating designs and patterns. You can do a white manicure with blue flowers or blue nails with white snowflakes - excellent winter nail art. If your drawing skills leave much to be desired, use stamping - with this simple device you can print patterns of any complexity on your nails. Rich shades are well suited for a white and blue craquelure manicure. To do this, you need a special coating that cracks after application, creating the picturesque effect of peeling paint. Both the craquelure itself and the base can be blue, and the crack on top will be, for example, white or golden.
Today's fashionable frame design can also be used - enclose indigo nails in a yellow or red frame. French manicure on short nails is an option for this design. There are a lot of blue manicure ideas. You can cover your nails with glitter or decorate them with rhinestones, make an ornament using a special metallic tape, or use a dot to make polka dot nails. If you are into oriental culture, you can paint your plates according to Feng Shui, highlighting one or two fingers with a different color or placing the ornament on only one nail of your right hand. 
When thinking about your future nail design, bet either on a good and unusual shade, or on an original and effective design. You should not make your blue manicure too intense - if you use polish with shimmer, refrain from additional nail decoration with rhinestones. By choosing the right shade and appropriate design, you can be sure that your blue manicure will be appropriate and will not go unnoticed.
